The British abandoned Philadelphia in 1778 primarily due to strategic military considerations. After suffering defeats and facing supply issues, they realized that maintaining control of the city was untenable, especially with the growing threat of American forces and their French allies. The British decided to consolidate their resources and focus on more defensible positions, leading to their withdrawal to New York City. This move was also influenced by the desire to avoid further casualties in a city that was increasingly difficult to defend.
